Dummy men are strictly within the
property department, but when used as
they were in "Henry V" at Sadlers
Wells they rise TO the point of stage
effect of no ordinary character. In that
play there is an important scene of the
triumphal entry Of the princes army into
Harfleur. The stage was arranged with
a parapet across up stage. A large gate
way on the right stood on a platform
which sloped down like a roadway.
There were some 200 or 300 supers well
drilled as soldiers, and every three of
these did duty as eight soldiers-a large
quantity Of dummies had been prepared
and carefully clothed. The masks had
all been modelled as portraits of living
men, and were painted by Absolom, the
Royal Academician. These realistic
dummies were arrayed in this way: The
formation was eight abreast. The end
files were living men, and one was in the
middle. These living men had attached
to them an iron rod on which five dunn
mics were fixed Mirror.

On an occasion a party of doctors were
talking in the parlor when Parepa Rosa
came in. DR.. Flint said to her, 1--WE
have just been discussing whether the
Threats of singers differed in any way
from the ordinary throat" ''Well, " she
replied, Il have nc objection to your
making an examination of mine, if you
like, and Immediately put herself in the
hands of the doctors, who thus had an OPP
p%ortunity seldom accorded the medical
fraternity. DR.. Flint, who was then en-
gagged on his work on physiology, discov-
cred quite a difference in the formation
of the throat, and afterward mentioned
the fact in his book.-New York Com

Charles summers rhrsieal Greatness.

Charles summers Physical Greatness.
Mr.. Summer stood six feet two inches
high without his shoes, and he was SO
well built that his height was only notice
able when he was near a person of ordi-
nary size. But there was a manner
about him, a free swing of the arm, a
stride, a pose of his shaggy head, a sway
Of his broad shoulders, that gave to those
who knew him best the idea that he was
of heroic size. Then, too, there was
something in the intent look of his deep
set eyes, his corrugated brow, the frown
born of intense thought, and his large
head, made to seem yet larger by its
crown Of thick, heavy, longish gray hair,
all of which gave the idea of physical
greatness; but with his frequent smile
the set frown passed, his whole appear
nee changed, and his face became like a
dark lantern suddenly lighted. His smile
effected a wonderful transformation in
his whole appearance, and it set up a Pc
culiar sympathy between himself and its
recipient.
For n of his sedentary habits, he
had extraordinary strength, and yet he
was not an athlete. While in Washing
ton his only exercise was walking, and
as he believed that it was the pace rather
than the distance which tells, when OPP
p%ortunity offered he would go at a rate
that amazed beholders. Some persons
attempting to join and keep up with him
only succeeded by taking an occasional
hop, skip and jump, such as children
practice when walking with their parents.
Up to the time of his injuries he walked
much in Washington, for, as he said, he
could outwalk omnibuses, and give them
long odds. Arnold Burgess johnson in

Tin Foil for Tobacco.

More than 1000, 900 pounds of tin foil
are used annually to cover the smoking
and chewing tobacco manufactured in
the United States alone. The method of
making it is interesting. The tin is, of

Australia and the Dutch possessions of
the East Indies. The metal is found in

also found in a dispersed form in loose
stones, which, when found continuously,
are called streams.-Chicago News.

But his study, or work ROOM, as he vas
won to call it, was as rich in engravings
as in books and manuscripts. 1t was a
large room on the second floor, with three
windows looking out on Vermont avenue,
one of the widest in that part of the city,
perhaps the most beautiful in Washing
ton. At one end was his own huge desk
full of drawers and pigeon holes, with its
long, wide, fiat top always numbered with
papers. At the other end was his clerks
desk. In the center of the room was an
other long, flat table. In corners were
other tables of lesser size. And there, too,
were a lounge and many chairs of differ
ent kinds. But all were loaded with
books, letters, congressional bills, docu-
ments and manuscripts. To seat a guest,
it was often necessary to empty a chair
by dumping its contents on the floor.
He was systematic in his disorder, and
could always find the paper or book he
wanted, provided it had not been mis-
placed by another person. He even knew
the stratum it occupied. Engravings
covered the entire wall space not taken
by book cases. They even hung on the
door panels, and generally n or more
leaned against a chair or table. The great
reclining chair he used for reading stood
by the center table with a swinging leaf
attached for writing; but he sat mere
often at his desk in a revolving chair,
from which he could reach the books he
called his tools ON the movable book case
which was ranged behind him. He was
wont TO say that the pictures on the walls
of this room were suggestions and inspira-
tions. There were six, around which, as
around c%enters, other pictures hung as if
to define or illustrate them.-Arnold
Burgess johnson in The Cosmopolitan.

BABY HUM0RS.
And ali Skin and scalp Diseases
speedily cured bv Cuticurn.


Our little son will be four years of age
on the 25th inst. In May, 1885, he was
attacked with a very painful breaking out
of the skin. We called in a physician
who treated him for about four weeks.
The child received little or no good from
the treatment, as the breaking out, sup
posed by the physician to be hives in an
aggravated form, became larger in
blotches, and more and more distressing.
We we're frequently obliged to get up in
the night and rub him with soda in water,
strong liniments, etc. Finally, we called
other physicians, until no less than six
had attempted to cure him, all alike fail.
ing, and the child steadily getting worse
and worse, until about the goth of last
July, when we began to give him Cuticura
Resolvent internally, and the Cuticura
and Cuticura Soap externally, and by the
last of August he was so nearly well that
we gave him only one dose of the Resell
vent about every second day for about ten
days longer and he has never been
troubled since with the horrible malady.
in all we used less than one half OF a bot
tie of Cuticura Resolvent. a little less than
one box of Cuticura, and only one cake of
Cuticura Soap. II. L. RYAN,

The astute Chinese, who were discuss
ing civil service reform when our ances-
tors were building the reed hut and hurl-
ing the flint tipped j%avelin, are said to
pay their medical attendants regularly SO
long a they enjoy good health, but
promptly to discontinue their remittances
on the first appearance of sickness, to re-
sumo only on recovery-which, no doubt,
has arisen from their absurdly attempting
to live up to a foolish old proverb of ours
about IAN ounce of prevention"
The plan which l would respectfully
submit is briefly as follows: That at the
beginning of the calendar year each indi-
vidual or family should engage his family
attendant for the mex twelve months,
agreeing to pay him a specified annual
salary in advance, either in full or in
quarterly oil monthly installments. The
physician, on his part, should agree to
render any and all professional services
required, except operations or manipula-
tons requiring tho skill and training of a
specialist, for the annual consideration
specified, which might readily be fixed
according to some rate per capita or per
familiar laid down in the fee bill. The
physician should further agree, in con-
sideration of the sum specified, to make
an annual or semi annual inspection Of
the sanitary condition of the house and
premises of his client and to offer such
suggestions as he saw fit in regard to the
diet or habits of life of himself or his
family; in short to act as general adviser
on all matters of hygiene or therapeutics.
The system might briefly and perhaps
not inaptly be described as a scheme of
health insurance.-North American Re-

The Ancient origtu OF Beer.

Mayor Hodges, of Baltimore, in vel
coming the beer brewsrs to that city
said: beer hiss an ancient and respect
able origin. The partisans of wine proud
~ trace It's invention to Noah, but beel
it is claimed, was introduced by Osiris
I the beneficent deity OF Egypt, and the al
eged author of Egyptian civilization, ,who
nrst made 1t known to the people on the
banks of the Nile, where for ages it was a
popular beverage. Coming down to later
| times, learn that the Greeks who ac-
compRnied Xenophon In the memorable
4 retreat of the Ten Thousand, on enteiihg
armenia, came upon some curious sub
terranean villages, in which, among
other things, there were great pots OF
beer, which was extremely strong; and in
these vessels were straws with which to
suck 1t up-a mode of imbibation which
Aenophon mentions with strong approval
This will remind you of the bouillon OF
Bar Harbor. The straw on that occasion
was powerful implement 1t was
mightier than pen and sword. Ap-
plausc. Tacitus mentions beer as tue
drink OF the manly Germans, whom he
holds up as an example to the luxurious
Romans of his day. The Romans should
not have despised beer, because an army
Of patriotic beer drinkers had crushed
the legions of Augustus near the Weser
but they hated 1t from that hour. To
them 1t had the flavor of defeat. But
coming down the stream of time l find no
less person than a Roman emperor
snatching few moments from the cares
OF empire to write poem against beer,
In which he abuses it souDdly, snd says
that 1t is sham Baechus and no real

Removing q Railroad Track,

Some time ago the P, w. q B. Rail-
road Company announced their intention
OF laying siding on Water street from
Justison to Tatnall street, and as Patrick
j. Long, with several others whose back
gates open just at this place thought it
was an encroachment on their property,
they complained to Council, and asked
that the company be restrained from put
ting down the siding The matter was
referred to City Solicitor Turner, who
decided that as the company had the right
to sixty feet OF land at this point, they
could lay the tracks, and that Mr.. Longs
remedy was TO briug suit for damages.
The property occupied by Mr. Long form
'erly belonged to Joseph Kienle, who built
an addition to bis stable which reached
beyond wall that had been erected by
the railroad company. Suit was entered
against him, but the railroad
company was defeated, and there has
not been any further trouble about this
land until the present time.
The stable is reached by small bridge,
and when the siding was laid the COM
pany tore it up. Long rebuilt the bridge
and told the company that If they remov.
ed 1t again he would tear up their tracks.
Yesterday the bridge was again torn down
when Long commenced to cut the pins In
the track. A warrant was Immediately
issued, and he was arrested, but the trial
of the case has b0en postponed until next
Monday.
